Like a Cranked Power Amp for Your Pedalboard!

With an upgraded silent switching system, version 2 of the EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold distortion pedal is better than ever. The Acapulco Gold v2 is like putting a vintage tube amp's master volume control on your pedalboard. It's based on the sound of a cranked Sunn Model T amplifier, and the single-knob control takes your tone from quieter to louder, covering a wide range of dirty tones that are very responsive to your guitar's volume and tone controls. Most iconic amps are defined by their power amp section, and the EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold v2 puts that sonic intensity on your pedalboard.

And since there's no audible "pop", switching is completely discreet. Experience for yourself the best Acapulco Gold yet: the EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold v2.
